Received the male Apistogramma Agassizi and it’s already showing signs of vibrant red color. The fish is active and stays calm in the tank. I’ve added a few other peaceful species and they’re all getting along well. Will definitely buy again.

The fish arrived healthy and are growing steadily. After four months, the red color is starting to appear. I’m happy with the quality and the breeder’s reputation. A great addition to a small aquarium.

Great choice for a colorful, low-maintenance fish. The male is very active and the red coloration is impressive now. I keep them in a 10-gallon tank with hiding spots and they seem comfortable.
